Guy Grossi: Honey-glazed ham

“The ham is a timeless classic,” says Grossi. “It’s delicious on the day but particularly great for Boxing Day when no one feels like cooking. It forms the bulk of the panini which we usually enjoy at the local giardino.”

Ingredients

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

300 gm chestnut-flower honey (see note)

1 tbsp cloves

1 star anise

1 leg ham, bone in (about 8kg), skin removed, fat scored
